I still see wreckage in Pearl Harbor in 1943 and by then the Pacific Fleet was rebuilt and had been rebuilt for over a year already.
It just lacks that war feeling atmosphere and it doesn't seem to include all the other unrelated events that took place that weren't relevant to sub warfare, but were relevant to the war in other terms. I want to see skip bombing by B-25s, attacks by Bristol Beaufighters. Why hasn't anyone added the Bristol Beaufighter to the game?

It would be more accurate to the game and wouldn't feel like anything was missing, like what GWX does to Silent Hunter III.

It details bombing raids and the missions flown by the 8th Air Force against targets in Lorient France or St Nazaire when your U-boat pens are being bombed by the 8th Air Force.

Let's add some variety to Silent Hunter IV.
You mean like this: AFB_Beaufighter from FOTRS or this: AFB_Beaufighter from Real Fleet Boat, or perhaps this from TMO: AFB_Beaufighter?

As for seeing squadrons of planes, that has been one big complaint is there are too many planes. They are there, you just don't see them. You are in a submarine and unless they are attacking you, you don't see them because of the altitude.
